  • Andy Ibáñez swipes base in loss to Astros
    Andy Ibáñez went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles and a stolen base on Friday evening as the Tigers fell to the visiting Astros.

    Advice: The known lefty-masher collected both of his hits off of Astros’ southpaw Framber Valdez. He singled in the third inning and raced around to score on Matt Vierling’s two-run double. He also added a single in the fifth inning and swiped second base to get himself into scoring position, but the Tigers were unable to cash him in. The 31-year-old infielder has impressed in his limited action this season, slashing a robust .349/.348/.512 with two homers, seven RBI and a swipe in 45 plate appearances. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Lands on injured list
    The Angels placed Adrianza on the 10-day injured list Friday with back spasms, retroactive to Thursday.

    Advice: Adrianza reported having problems with his lower back Friday, and the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Niko Goodrum will join the active roster to take Adrianza's spot after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:18 pm

  • Angels place Ehire Adrianza (back) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Ehire Adrianza on the 10-day injured list with back spasms.

    Advice: The Angels already have Anthony Rendon, Luis Rengifo and Brandon Drury on the injured list, so why not place another infielder there for good measure. Luckily, Niko Goodrum arrived on Friday and will join the active roster to replace Adrianza. Rotoworld Today, 5:16 pm

  • Pirates option Alika Williams to Triple-A
    Pirates optioned INF Alika Williams to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder didn’t do much in 51 plate appearances with the big league club, slashing .239/.271/.348 with zero homers, two RBI and a 9/2 K/B ratio. He’ll continue to function as extra infield depth for the Pirates at the Triple-a level. Rotoworld Today, 5:08 pm

  • Pirates recall Nick Gonzales from Triple-A
    Pirates recalled INF Nick Gonzales from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: The 24-year-old infielder was punishing the baseball once again at the Triple-A level, hitting .358 (43-for-120) with four homers in his first 30 games. He’ll once again be given a shot at securing the team’s everyday job at second base. Alika Williams was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 5:06 pm
     
  • Zack Gelof (oblique) begins rehab assignment
    Zack Gelof (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Advice: The dynamic 24-year-old infielder will play in games on Friday and on Sunday before being re-evaluated. If all goes well, there’s a chance that he could return to the A’s lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Astros in Houston. Before landing on the injured list, Gelof was hitting .196/.260/.337 with three homers, seven RBI and four stolen bases in 101 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 4:57 pm

  • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Friday
    Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder flopped in his first taste of big league action in 2023, but perhaps things will be different this time around. Schmitt was hitting .276/.320/.448 with five homers, 31 RBI and five stolen bases through his first 33 games at Triple-A Sacramento. Expect him to see the bulk of the action at shortstop while Nick Ahmed (wrist) is shelved. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 pm

  • Giants place Nick Ahmed (wrist) on 10-day IL
    Giants placed INF Nick Ahmed on the 10-day injured list with a left wrist sprain.

    Advice: The 34-year-old shortstop sustained the injury on April 27 when he was hit by a 108-mph line drive against the Rockies. He’ll sit for a couple of weeks and hope that the time off takes care of things. Casey Schmitt was recalled from Triple-A Sacremento in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 3:44 pm

  • Recalled from Sacramento
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: With Nick Ahmed (wrist) headed for the injured list, Schmitt will come up from the minors to serve as replacement infield depth. The 25-year-old has spent all of 2024 with Sacramento, slashing .269/.313/.440 with 31 RBI across 147 plate appearances, and he will likely be used primarily off the bench while with the big-league club.
